New ChangeThis Manifesto – Mini Sagas: Bite Sized Wisdom for Life and Business

By Rajesh Setty on Wed 06 Aug 2008, 10:32 AM - View Comments

I was first introduced to the concept of Mini Saga by Dan Pink. It’s been a couple of years and I have written 26 mini sagas.

For starters, a mini saga is a story in exactly 50 words. Not 49 or 51 but in exactly 50 words.

My new manifesto published on ChangeThis is based on these Mini Sagas.

I also partnered with my a close friend Suresh Gundappa (who is a celebrated photographer) to combine a photo with each mini saga.

There are 15 mini sagas in the manifesto and for me, it is an attempt to present a thought, insight or a lesson in just 50 words. I have put my heart and soul into this project. However, I know that the verdict is in your hands

I want to thank the following people who made this happen:

1. My cool friends at 800-CEO-READ (especially Dylan Schleicher)

2. Joy Panos Stauber at Stauber Design Studios

3. Suresh Gundappa of Silicon Valley Bank (blogs at Meditation Photography)

4. Bill Sherman at Aha Moments
